Chapter 421 The All-Powerful King

Yeah, why did I worry about this just now? This guy is just too lazy. If you let him do this, isn't it like asking for his life? Just let him come out and object. You are really worrying about nothing.

Zhao Gao was speechless this time and could only turn his head to look at His Majesty.

Ying Wushuang finally spoke: "Just put a name on it and find a deputy governor to exercise the power."

Oh my god? The ministers were very confused. What are you doing? Let's not talk about whether this thing is feasible or not. Even if it is feasible, why do you let him find a deputy to do the work and let him be free and easy? Then can I also find a deputy and do the work and receive a salary?

Someone immediately jumped out to object: "Your Majesty, how can such a precedent be set? If so, the court will inevitably be in chaos. I firmly oppose it. Please withdraw your order!"

Ying Wushuang glanced at him: "Chen Taifu, I remember that you are in charge of horse affairs, but the war horses of the Qin Dynasty have always been insufficient, and the loss is even more serious. How do you solve it?"

Chen He's eyes went dark at that time. This is the truth. He was also overwhelmed. On the one hand, the war horses of the Qin Dynasty were originally scarce. On the other hand, the treasury funds did not allow it. And most importantly, the war horses lost at least 30% every year due to hoof wear, but he had no way to do it.

Ying Wushuang saw that he was silent, and turned to look at Jiang Fan: "I heard that you snatched 500 blood horses from Zuo Xianwang at one time. Is this true?"

The officials were immediately surprised. The blood horses were so precious. If they could be bred with Qin horses, the quality of the war horses would be greatly improved. This is a great thing.

Jiang Fan smiled embarrassedly. He didn't say this. At that time, the plan was to use them for special forces, and he only planned to give those stallions to the empress. I didn't expect her to bring it up here.

I had no choice but to say, "Yes..."

Well, it seems that I can't keep it, so I can only think about how to keep more.

Chen He was stunned. It's true that people will die when compared with people, and goods will be lost when compared with goods. I worked hard for decades, but I didn't get a single horse, but others just walked around and got 500 horses. What else can I say? I was speechless.

The empress said again: "I heard that you can solve the problem of horse hoof wear? Is this true?"

This time, everyone was shocked.

This problem has troubled for thousands of years, probably because the horse hoof wears too quickly, and a large number of war horses are lost here. And King Xiaoyao can actually solve it?

For a while, all eyes were focused on Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan complained helplessly, I really can't chat with you too much, I don't know when you will bring it up.

But in this situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes..."

Gao Rong's eyes narrowed: "This matter is serious. If you can solve it, I will recognize you as the governor of the Ministry of Works."

The empress ignored him and just said to Jiang Fan: "Tell me. How long will it be extended and how much will it cost?"

This is also the most concerned issue for the ministers.

Jiang Fan had to stand up and thought for a while and said: "If it is not for injury, illness or old age, you can ride it all the time..."

Oh my god! The ministers didn't believe it. You are too unbelievable, right?

But what Jiang Fan said next made them feel that this matter was simply nonsense.

"As for the cost...each horse is about...ten cents."

"What?" Everyone present showed an expression of absolute disbelief.

Ten cents, you can solve the problem of horse hoof wear? Do you think we are all fools?

Without waiting for them to refute it publicly, the empress said, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Fan nodded, "Really."

The empress said, "How long will it take?"

Jiang Fan calculated, "Within a year, all the war horses can be solved. If you just want to see a finished product demonstration... I already have it in my mansion, and you can go and see it when you are free."

There was an uproar.

He meant that it has been solved.

"This...this...is there really such a thing? Why didn't the prince say it earlier?"

A military general trembled and said.

Don't blame him, the news is too shocking.

Jiang Fan scratched his head: "I only thought of it after I got the sweat and blood, blame me?"

The military general suddenly said solemnly: "If this is true, the prince can be said to have made a great achievement."

As a military general, he can better understand the importance of this matter.

And several military leaders also expressed their agreement with surprise.

"Oh, right." Jiang Fan suddenly remembered something: "Not only the horse hoof, I also made a set of things that can free people's hands and move freely on the horse's back without falling off..."

Now, even several military leaders can't sit still.

The cavalry can move freely on the horse without being distracted, which is no less than the horse hoof.

"You have this too?" Wang Jian walked up to Jiang Fan and said anxiously.

"Yes, I just matched it for the Ferghana horse."

"The cost of this thing..."

"Ah, this is quite expensive. Ordinary materials cost about 100 coins..."

"One, 100 coins?" Wang Jian's eyes widened.

"Ah, right? I said this is expensive..."

"The ordinary ones have the same function?"

Jiang Fan said: "Yes, this thing is like the difference between gold chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks, they can be used equally, right?"

Wang Jian was a little incoherent with excitement: "This... Prince, Your Majesty..."

The empress waved her hand gently and looked at Chen He again: "What do you think, Grand Master?"

Chen He was already confused, secretly cursing himself for looking for trouble. It was not easy to repair the relationship with the prince through the Yuwen family. Why did he jump out now? Not to mention the slap in the face, I'm afraid it will also make the prince feel alienated.

"If this is true, the prince has made great contributions to my Great Qin, and I beg Your Majesty to reward him generously."

He quickly expressed his position, hoping to regain his favor.

But Jiang Fan was unhappy: "You should insist on it, I am getting more and more unable to push it."

The empress seemed to want Jiang Fan to be unable to push it: "King Xiaoyao can increase steel production by a hundred times."

Shocked all the officials again.

But the empress did not give them a chance to discuss. She said to herself: "The curved plow can improve farming tenfold."

This is a fact. The curved plow has been available and almost all the officials have verified it. The officials in charge of farming were so happy that they didn't sleep well for several days and kept writing to ask for rewards from the prince.

The empress didn't seem to finish yet and continued: "You can mass-produce a precious sword that is a hundred times better than the current standard equipment, and popularize it throughout the Qin army in three years."

There was an uproar again, and all the officials were almost numb with shock today.

Speaking of this, the old marshal Meng Ao laughed, "I can testify to this. The sample has been sent to me. It can cut hair and cut existing weapons like cutting melons and vegetables."

Naturally, no one doubted the old marshal's words. If so, how much higher would the combat effectiveness of the Qin cavalry be.

Hundreds of people gasped in shock. This was the first time Jiang Fan had seen such a scene. It was quite spectacular.

The empress said calmly: "In terms of craftsmanship, King Xiaoyao is unrivaled in the world. In terms of business, King Xiaoyao is even better than craftsmen. In three years, the treasury of the Qin Empire will more than triple. Do you want me to list all the matters?"

The whole audience was speechless. What else could they say? They were all shocked.

Many people looked at the young prince as if they were looking at a ghost.

Gao Rong was no exception.

"... Well deserved!"

After a while, an old minister said generously.
